Never mind all the rest;
never mind the endless tests or the race to be best ………
or the boys who were
nothing –
nothing more than the rest –
just pests!

nothing less, than a place, a place for a rest;
her very own –
nest.
And now, now she’s nested, her foot taps and her lids twitch, and she f l i c k e r s …
Restless.
